Book with DagmarAbout Dagmar
Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, trauma and LGBT-related concerns. She works with a wide range of issues including eating difficulties, grief, anger, sleeping problems, ADHD and career stress. Dagmar speaks English, Czech and Slovak and practices from the United Kingdom.
Dagmar uses a blend of approaches to shape each session around what the person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside person-centred listening.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as understanding feelings and patterns. Her background includes work in the NHS, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes and independent practice. She holds a BACP accreditation, a Master of Science in Psychology and postgraduate diplomas in psychodynamic psychotherapy and CBT.
This mix informs a flexible way of working. In a typical session she will listen without judgement, help you name what matters, and work with you to try new ways of coping. Some people use the time to understand past patterns, while others focus on short-term goals and behaviour change.
Dagmar describes her approach as warm and respectful. She aims to help people build resilience, find clarity and make changes that fit their life. If you prefer a collaborative, thoughtful style, her practice may suit you.

How Dagmar’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It focuses on values and small actions to move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach is useful for people who want to understand trust, closeness and repeated relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying new ways of responding. It is practical and often used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will discuss options and agree a plan based on your needs, goals and what feels comfortable. The process is collaborative - you and the therapist decide whether to try short-term, goal-focused work or a longer process that looks at patterns and meaning.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and it can reduce time spent travelling. Some people prefer brief check-ins when days are busy, while others use longer sessions to go deeper. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh these choices so therapy fits into everyday life.
